Surabaya (Week 64)

Selamat Siang semuanya!!!!

Things are going well here! There was a lot of rain and so that meant some flooding and we found some more leaks in our house but have already got those fixed thanks to our awesome Mission couple Sister, Sister Williams. She's really helping to keep things in shape and working how they should. The Williams' are awesome and really any mission couple that there is is awesome!

Here's how the week went!

Senin: We went to a member's home and had some really yummy Thai Food. She's from there so she knows how to do that kind of stuff. Her Christmas tree was beautiful! Then Sister Aryanto and I visited Mommie Arnold. She's an old investigator that we have rediscovered and she is so sweet. She had a stroke 4 years ago which makes things hard for her but we are working on ways to help her come to church and be baptized with the Priesthood. She wants to and she's so cute!

Sisters Sperry & Aryanto

Selasa: It was kinda a slow day but it was good! Met with some people and had some really good lessons. I know these people felt the Spirit now they just need to admit it! It also rained pretty hard which is always super fun!

Rabu: We went with Sister Williams to visit a less active member with a really hard story. She needs help that only coming back to church and reading her scriptures is going to give! We hope to see her a lot more often and guess what...she came to church this week! 

Kamis: We saw Mommie Arnold and helped Rachel get ready for her baptism. She's so ready!

 Jumat: We rode our bikes pretty far and met with a woman who isn't allowed to come to church because of her husband. But she listens so well in our lessons and still believes very strongly in Christ. We're hoping to really be able to help her out! It also rained A TON!!!!!!! There was flooding in the streets and it really was like trying to ride a bike through the kiddie end of a swimming pool. Super neat! 

Sabtu: RACHEL WAS BAPTIZED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! she was so happy and eveything else went well! The elders also had a baptism that day and the next day

Hari Minggu: there were 5 people confirmed. Two kid baptisms from the week before, one from that day, and then the two that were on Saturday. The church is growing here in Surabaya!!!! I love it!

I love this missionary life! I love the Lord and I'm so grateful for this AMAZING opportunity!!! I love you all too! have a great week!!1

love,

Sister Sperry :)
